And the wave does not like when someone tries to derail its plots... "Charlie" may find himself leading a detective agency no matter how fast he tried to run.
Or, it could be that Arthur was hired by Padrig and the whole "pretend to be loyal till you hear from me again" bit is meant to keep them loyal, as they'll actually never hear from their Charlie again.
As for subverting the Angels, they know their "Charlie", and no one could ever substitute for him. [grin]
I wonder if Padraig gets upset if people call him 'Patrick', and spell his name that way?
As to Arthur ending up running a detective agency, you'll just have to wait and see. [grin]
And, given the mix of fandoms involved in the Angels...
Coming soon: The Hollywood Machine. [grin]
((Do you think it is a good job no one has tried to call them 'Lovely Angels'? [grin] ))
